Hi Guys,
I'm running a 2.4.20 kernel with xfs(linux-2.4.20-xfs-2003-03-09) and
nfs(patched) and it seems to have a problem with xfs_fsr. When xfs_fsr
runs biweekly from the crontab(0 2 * * 0,3 /usr/sbin/xfs_fsr >/dev/null 2>&1)
on a 1TB array that has about 700GB used it locks up NFS. None of the
clients can stat/read/write the NFS mount point. I have seen on the NFS
server that after xfs_fsr finishes it does go back to normal but few
times it has rendered the machine unusable and requires a hard reset.
How often does xfs_fsr need to be run? Is the above crontab entry the
right way to do it? Is xfs_fsr suppose to lock the file system?
Thanks in advance,
-Scott
